Our Country '".; Right or Wrong


KEEP THE CIGARET TAX
There has been a lot of talk going on here
of late to call a special session of the legisla-
ture for the main purpose of repealing the
state cigaret tax due to the fact that revenues
are piling up in the state's cash box faster
than they can be spent. We say keep the
cigaret tax.
When the tax law was enacted at the last
session of the legislature it was the belief
that, due to the war, racing would be discon-
tinued in Florida and the state would lose ,a
large source of revenue. However, such has
not been the case. And on top of that, the
cigaret tax is bringing in considerable riore
than was anticipated.
Okeh, we have more money than we know
what to do with. If we're going to have a
special legislative session, let's devote part of
it to allocating all that surplus cash. And we
know three places where it is needed badly.
The school teachers of Florida are sadly
underpaid. Use part of the surplus to boost
their wages by increasing the teacher unit

ple of the 25th Senatorial District,

Primary to be held in May, 1944.

linedd and dependent children. An increase 0. E. HOBBS,
along these lines wouldn't hurt at all, at all.
We feel sure that cigarct smokers would
not object to continuance of the tax, now
that they've become accustomed to paying it,
and those few extra pennies they contribute
each month-not a great burden on any one
person-can bring so much cheer and joy to
so many other persons if it is properly allo-
cated.
Again we say, let's keep the cigaret tax.

PUBLISH CITY STATEMENT
A number of interested people have asked
the publisher of The Star from time to
time why we don't publish a monthly state-
ment of the city's finances so that the people TO SAFEGUARDI
may know just how their tax money is being YOUR HEALTH
spent. To which we reply that to our knowl-
edge such a statement is not issued monthly drugs and chemicals we use in com-
by our city officials, and even if it were, it pounding your physician's prescription
are ensured by the vigilant chemists of
would be required that the city have it nub- Control Laboratories. Even during the
manufacture of a simple pro4uict a score
lished in the form of advertising, or more of exacting tests for purity are
made. Thus, we compound prescriptions
For a time, shortly after B. W. Eells took 'with full confidence in the reliability of
his seat on the board of city commissioners, the ingredients your physician prescribes,
such a monthly statement was published in We use MerckPrescnpflon Chemicals
The Sentinel and, we understand, was perused Smith's Pharmacy
with interest by the taxpayers. However, for Phone 5 Port St. Joe
the past two years, or since Mr. Eells' seat
was filled on the board by B. B. Conklin, no
monthly statemeints for the edification of the
dear people has been forthcoming.
Consequently, since some of our taxpayers
deem it wise and request it, we rise to sug-
gest that the city resume its monthly publi-
cation of a financial statement. It is done in K enn ey
other cities, and apparently without any seri-
ous consequences.

cows should work as hard as though

200 pounds body weight and add from
40 to 60 pounds to the weight of the calf.

hay or pasture-and plenty of It-is
the first essential of successful dry cow
feeding. Give them all they want.
Limit silage to about half the amount
of feed during the milking period,


2. 60 DAY DRY PERIOD. To do all
this "work," all cows should have a
60-day dry period. Breed cows 3
months after calving. Then dry off 7
months later. This will allow for 10
months milking and 2 months dry.


4. FEED DRY COW RATION. Dry
cows will do best when conditioned on
a 12% protein, high-mineral dry cow
ration. This can be bought ready-
mixed or made with your own oats
and bulky, high-mineral supplements.
